Chapter 825 - 826: Striking It Rich
Customers who entered the store saw it was medicinal soap and weren’t interested at all, but the moment they heard it was free, they all eagerly took one home, not wanting to miss out on a deal.
Although they knew the magical effects of the medicinal soap, the Li Family couldn’t help but feel nervous, fearing that customers might not like it. This was their only shot at turning things around.
The soap takes three days to show its effects after use, so during those three days, Nianyang had everyone make three hundred more medicinal soaps.
Three hundred didn’t sound like much, but when made, they almost couldn’t fit in the yard. Liu Yue was anxious, "What if we don’t sell all these?"
This worry was shattered on the third day after the grand reopening of the store.
They went to open the store at eight in the morning, only to find that the store was completely blocked by customers, which almost made their legs go weak.
Seeing the owner of the store arrive, the customers were beyond excited.
"Why did you take so long? Hurry, I want to buy two whitening soaps."
"I want to buy three anti-wrinkle ones; yours work so well!"
"I want ten of each kind, and I want them right now."
"Hey, don’t push at the back, we were here first, you have to queue up."
The Li Family was dumbfounded and didn’t expect such a warm response from the customers. They happily handed over the soaps, selling every one of the three hundred they had in one day.
In the end, there were still dozens of customers who didn’t get to buy one and left disappointed.
After closing the store, everyone started counting the money. Even though they had worked hard all day, each member of the Li Family was flushed with excitement.
"Six thousand bucks, we’ve made six thousand bucks in just one day!"
Zhang Yun held the account book, looking at the income record, and, if not for her pregnancy, would have almost jumped with joy. In all her years doing business with Li Dongnan, their daily income had never exceeded a thousand.
Six thousand bucks, just from selling the soap, she could hardly believe how incredibly well they sold.
Hearing this number, everyone gasped, Shang Wan patted her chest, shocked, "That’s so much, my husband only makes twelve hundred a month, this is outrageous profit."
The cost of making 300 medicinal soaps was less than five hundred, meaning they netted over five thousand pure profit.
Yunrou was also amazed, "I never imagined the soaps would be this popular. Looks like our store is going to thrive."
Li Dongnan gratefully looked at Nianyang again, "Sister-in-law, we owe this all to you. Most of this profit should go to you, you’re the largest shareholder of the store."
Nianyang waved her hand, "I said I wouldn’t be involved. Besides, I only provided the formula, you did everything else. The credit belongs to you, it has nothing to do with me."
Shang Wan said, "Yangyang, don’t decline. Without you, could we have earned this much? If we don’t share with you, wouldn’t we be taking advantage of you?"
Nianyang shrugged helplessly, "Hey, who says I didn’t gain? I’m the one who gained a lot here, didn’t you forget that the herbs we used for this soap come from my herb farm? You have to pay me, and as business picks up, you’ll need more herbs; by then, with more shipments, I’ll be making a lot."
